Surah Hadid Ayat 13 in Arabic Text
English Translation
Here you can read various translations of verse 13
On the [same] Day the hypocrite men and hypocrite women will say to those who believed, “Wait for us that we may acquire some of your light.” It will be said, “Go back behind you and seek light.” And a wall will be placed between them with a door, its interior containing mercy, but on the outside of it is torment.
One Day will the Hypocrites- men and women – say to the Believers: “Wait for us! Let us borrow (a Light) from your Light!” It will be said: “Turn ye back to your rear! then seek a Light (where ye can)!” So a wall will be put up betwixt them, with a gate therein. Within it will be Mercy throughout, and without it, all alongside, will be (Wrath and) Punishment!
On that Day the hypocrites, both men and women, shall say to the believers: “Look at us that we may extract some light from your light.” They will be told: “Go back and seek light for yourselves elsewhere.” Then a wall shall be erected between them with a door in it. On the inside of it there will be mercy, and on the outside of it there will be chastisement.
On the Day when the hypocrites men and women will say to the believers: “Wait for us! Let us get something from your light!” It will be said: “Go back to your rear! Then seek a light!” So a wall will be put up between them, with a gate therein. Inside it will be mercy, and outside it will be torment.”
On the day when the hypocritical men and the hypocritical women will say unto those who believe: Look on us that we may borrow from your light! it will be said: Go back and seek for light! Then there will separate them a wall wherein is a gate, the inner side whereof containeth mercy, while the outer side thereof is toward the doom.
(On) the Day when the male hypocrites and the female hypocrites will say to the ones who have believed, “Look on us that we may adapt from your light!” It will be said to them, “Return (back) beyond you, so grope for a light!” Then a fence will be struck up between them, having a gate, in the inward whereof is mercy, and facing the outward there of is the torment.
On the same Day, the hypocrites, both men and women, will say to the believers, ‘Wait for us! Let us have some of your light!’ They will be told, ‘Go back and look for a light.’ A wall with a door will be erected between them: inside it lies mercy, outside lies torment.
اس دن منافق مرد وعورت ایمان والوں سے کہیں گے کہ ہمارا انتظار تو کرو کہ ہم بھی تمہارے نور سے کچھ روشنی حاصل کر لیں۔ جواب دیا جائے گا کہ تم اپنے پیچھے لوٹ جاؤ اور روشنی تلاش کرو۔ پھر ان کے اور ان کے درمیان ایک دیوار حائل کر دی جائے گی جس میں دروازه بھی ہوگا۔ اس کے اندرونی حصہ میں تو رحمت ہوگی اور باہر کی طرف عذاب ہوگا

Ala-Maududi
(57:13) On that Day the hypocrites, both men and women, shall say to the believers: “Look at us that we may extract some light from your light.”[18] They will be told: “Go back and seek light for yourselves elsewhere.” Then a wall shall be erected between them with a door in it. On the inside of it there will be mercy, and on the outside of it there will be chastisement.[19]
18. It means that when the believers will be going towards Paradise, the light will be before them, and the hypocrites will be stumbling about in the darkness behind. At that time they will call out to the believers, who lived with them together in the same Muslim society in the world, saying: Look back towards us awhile so that we also may get some light.
19. This means that the people of Paradise will enter it through a gate and then the gate will be closed. On one side of the gate there will be the blessings of Paradise and on the other the torment of Hell. For the hypocrites it will not be possible to cross the barrier that will stand between them and Paradise.
